The more direct solution to helping those in tough situations like you describe is enforcing stricter employee labor laws. Messing with contract law is another can of worms. There are plenty of situations between corporations or wealthy people where parties have no other reasonable choice (e.g. a fire sale of a company). That shouldn’t make contracts void.
- crankylinuxuser 7y agoWhy "Messing with contract law", especially when it concerns a corporation to an individual, so terrible? A company has piles of money and piles of lawyers. What do you, an individual have? You likely have a few thousand in the bank, more money locked away for old age, and can google a list of lawyers. Point being; there is a significant power imbalance between an individual and a corporation. So absolutely yes, we as a society should be legally preventing and stopping many contracts, ToS, and other legal and quazi-legal instruments for abuses of all sorts. That should apply from shitty Valley upstarts all the way to banking and old businesses.
